Quick Comment

That itself right there is why you need it. Any really good player will not just spam abilities and waste mana. You use the same 6 mana potions in half the game, if you are smart and efficient while using them. In theory, yes you are correct, it is a bit more expensive. But you need less mana potions as the game advances. So I would use around 8-10 the whole game. That's 400-500 gold. A 100-200 more expense, why take the small extra cost you ask?

1. You can have the MP5 at a specific time you want and you don't have to wait for the active's cooldown.

Dude, I'm sick and tired of people talking smack about meditation. I can and do buy it every game with Ao and it provides me sustain throughout the entire game. I only return to base when I'm out of mana, hardly ever die, and can stay out almost indefinitely by the time I reach my fourth item. It's saved my hide so many times I can't begin to imagine. I'm top player in most Siege, Arena, and 3v3 games that I play - usually winning the damage crown - most player damage, most creep damage, least damage taken, most structure damage. REALLY - MEDITATION IS AWESOME. All of you idiots buying 50 gold potions that heal your mana for **** are the ones who are wrong. For the cost of 6 potions you have an indefinitely reusable, far superior mana regenerator, and if you know how to stay alive, it provides amazing sustain. I spam my abilities and hit most of the time. Without meditation, I would be returning to base almost twice as much - do the math. 300 gold is not that much to keep you in the field where you can make a difference for your team instead of having to waste all of that time running back to base when you're at full health. STOP IT WITH THE MEDITATION BASHING!

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
